While true, if the issue is with the XMP file why not just wait and add the coordinates when the photos are imported to Lightroom? Cheers, Bruce ... View more

The simplest solution is to NOT tick the'include IPTC data as XMP file’ when exporting as original. The GPS data that are imbedded in the pic file are correct. Cheers, Bruce Bruce Atkinson 51 Sgt.

That’s all been fixed in Lightroom 7.3. Both the white balance picker and Point Color picker work fine including the loupe no longer freezing on a selection. ... View more

It’s a bit more complicated than you suggest. A color picker problem existed for both Classic and Desktop versions beginning with 14.3. With 14.5, the problem disappeared from Classic but in Desktop the problem went beyond just the loupe color freezing to a complete crash when the loupe is moved to a photo. This happens with both White Balance picker and Point Color picker. I agree that this is probably not just an Adobe issue but some sort of conflict between LR and Mac OS although I don’t understand why things would be different between Classic and Desktop. The thing that irked me was that Adobe classified the issue as “Resolved” and closed it. I don’t regard 'waiting for an update' to be any sort of resolution at all. ... View more

That’s a known problem That I reported to Adobe a few days ago. They tried to find out the issue but ended up suggesting to ‘wait until an update is available. Not a helpful ’solution. I would add that the same problem exists when trying to use the white point picker. ... View more

Issue made worse in Lightroom Desktop. Causes app crash now. ... View more

With Sonoma 14.5, the loupe issue appears to be resolved with the white balance color picker in Lightroom Classic but a worse problem has appeared in Lightroom Desktop in that when using the color picker for white balance or point color, the app crashes as soon as the loupe is moved to the photo. As a result, with Sonoma 14.5, Lightroom Desktop has been rendered virtually unuseable. This is a VERY serious issue. ... View more

Agree that it seems to be fixed in Lightroom Classic but I’m now getting a repeated crash of Lightroom Desktop when I move the picker to the photo. Cheers, Bruce Atkinson ... View more

Yes I understand all about the standard. The question is why is it a problem with Adobe when it’s not for other apps? ... View more

Since other apps don’t have a problem getting the gps locations correct I don’t regard it an Apple ‘bug’. ... View more

I've just discovered the same issue. What irks me is that while NeoFinder (a DAM on the Mac) and also ON1 RAW can both read the xmp file correctly Lightroom can't (both Desktop and Classic). The issue has been known for a number of years now and I don't understand why Adobe doesn't show any interest in addressing it. As for a work around, if you wish to keep both the keywords and gps data, and have ON1, before opening the files in LR, open them in ON1 and select 'Embed metadata' under the Photos tab. Once embedded in the file gps info shows correctly in LR along with any keywords.  ... View more

Just updated to Lightroom (Desktop) 7.2 and the loupe problem is still there for both White Balance and Point Color. In the Lightroom Classic update (13.2) the loupe works as it should for White Balance but still doesn't work for Point Color. Sonoma 14.3.1 ... View more

Yes, I've now seen that. My problem is also with the White Balance picker. Apparently bugs are filed against both Classic and Desktop. Hopefully a fix will be found ASAP. ... View more

Yup, same issue with me. ... View more

I've got a problem with the color picker in Lightroom Cloud (MAC) in that it sets to a specific color in the enlarged circle and doesn't change as I move around a photo. I don't have the same problem in Classic. See attached photo. Note thatthe picker does select the correct color as seen by the faint black dot in the picker panel on the right, ... View more
